What are you doing ?   I ’ m just looking at this map of the world . I ’ m preparing for a geography class .   There are no countries marked on the map .   No , there aren ’ t . this map just show the geographical features . Look at the Himalayan plateau with the highest peaks in the world .   The thing that I find most surprising is that most of the world is covered with water . Compared to the oceans , most countries are tiny .   I find it incredible how millions of years of volcanic activity have created mountains thousands of metres tall .   Rivers have created deep valleys and canyons like the grand canyon .   The oceans and landscapes all influence our climate .   It ’ s all so interesting . I ’ ll have to find more information about it on the internet . Or perhaps I should try and attend your geography class .
